GRILLED SEAFOOD BURGERS WITH OLD BAY MAYONNAISE



Grilled Seafood Burgers With Old Bay Mayonnaise image

Tender cod and sweet shrimp transform into juicy seafood burgers that are perfect for easy summer grilling. The shrimp do double duty here: They act as a natural binder, eliminating the need for bread crumbs and eggs and giving the burgers a pure seafood essence. They also lend a snappy, firm texture to the patties. A quick cook on the grill imparts great smoky notes that complement the fish, and an Old Bay mayo sauce highlights the seafood flavors even further.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon neutral oil, such as safflower or canola, plus more for greasing the grates
1/2 pound cleaned large shrimp, cut into thirds
12 ounces cod fillet, cut into ½-inch cubes
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
1 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
4 toasted hamburger buns
Lemon wedges, for serving
Shredded iceberg lettuce and sliced dill pickles

Steps:

  • Heat a grill to medium and oil the grates.
  • In a food processor, pulse the shrimp a few times just until finely chopped and a coarse paste forms. Transfer to a large bowl and add the cod, 1/4 cup of the scallions, the salt and pepper, and mix until well blended. (Hands work best.) Moisten your hands with water, then form the mixture into 4 (½-inch-thick) patties. Coat patties lightly with the oil.
  • Grill the burgers until lightly charred and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (Resist the temptation to prod or flip the burgers unnecessarily. They will release easily once they are cooked on each side.)
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Old Bay and the remaining 2 tablespoons scallions; mix well.
  • Smear some of the Old Bay mayonnaise on the buns. Top each bottom bun with a burger and squeeze lemon on top. Top with some of the lettuce and pickles, close the burgers and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest seafood available. This will ensure that your salad is as flavorful as possible.
  • Cook the seafood properly. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy, so be careful not to overcook it.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. There are many different types of dressings that can be used on seafood salad, so find one that you like and experiment with others until you find one that you love.
  • Serve your salad immediately. Seafood salad is best when served fresh, so don't let it sit around for too long before eating it.

Conclusion:

Seafood salad is a light and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is also a healthy dish that is packed with nutrients. If you are looking for a delicious and healthy seafood recipe, then this Moroccan Seafood and Broccoli Salad is a great option. With its flavorful dressing and variety of vegetables, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
